Bon Appetit

This app is completely useless. It’s literally just digitized copies of their magazine. You have to use the Epicurious app to find recipes, which is also a terrible app. I asked for a refund within two weeks of purchasing the annual subscription and was denied. The recipes are simple ones that you can find on any other website for free such as meatloaf, chicken piccata, spaghetti sauce, lemon chicken and thyme, etc. Furthermore, the ethnic ones are not authentic at all. I tried a Japanese yakisoba dish and it was the worst food I have ever made for my family. I followed the recipe exactly but while it was cooking, we were all holding our breath because the sauce stunk so badly. I’m Vietnamese and cook with oyster sauce and fish sauce a lot, so that wasn’t that problem. The chicken wasn’t expired, either. The flavor was just as awful as the smell and we ended up throwing it all out and eating a frozen meal instead. This website has nothing unique or good. I suggest trying something else.

I subscribe to Bon Appétit, yet every time I try to sign in on this ridiculous app, I tells me “no subscription found.” And yet, I go to the Bon appetite WEBSITE and voila, there’s my account, all signed in and everything, claiming I have access to “thousands of recipes on Bon Appétit and Epicurious.” The app needs some serious work if it won’t recognize users’ existing subscriptions. It also seems to only have digital copies of the magazines- available for purchase, since I’m unable to log in… Sigh

I like the app, but it would be really nifty if access to the website or online recipe library could be included with subscription.

It asks for a password, I put it in, it says it is wrong, I try to reset it, it says the email is not a known account, I try to set up an account using the email…you guessed it, now the email is already in use.

I thought I was paying for a collection of Bon Appétit recipes, not a back catalog of magazines.

So far searches yield magazines. Their magazines are fabulous but when I’m searching it’s for a recipe not an issue.

I never rate apps because no one needs to hear from me, this one has finally pushed me over the edge. Ever since this moved to a subscription-based model it has been nothing but glitchy. The content is great, but only if you can access it before the app crashes on you. I use several subscription-based apps and have never seen anything malfunction like this app. Don’t waste your money.

I love the magazine/content, and was looking forward to having access to it via ipad app. Immediately turned off by the portrait-only, copy-of-print-magazine-only. I use a bluetooth keyboard / case and I rarely use my ipad in portrait mode! I want to be able to search content, etc., as I can on the Bon Appetit website. What gives??

The three dots they are talking about are not there

There aren’t 3 dots in the upper right corner!! Pls pls figure out how to let people link their subscription. I beg
